[Q] stuck on htc quietly brilliant screen

Hello everyone, I made a mistake (I am a big noob) and I don't know how to fix it.
I wanted to have fresh phone (real factory reset) to back-up and start over, so in recovery mode (interim one from paul) I wiped data, cache partition and I also formated cache,data, sdcard and system.
Now, I am stuck on htc quietly brilliant screen, I have access to hboot, recovery etc. I have been looking for a solution for 2 days without succes, I am sad.
Can someone help please ? thanks guys.

You wiped the system so there is no android on there!
Eirher download a new Rom and flash or relock bootloader and use ruu

The part you did wrong: It's true that you wipe (dalvik) cache and data before flashing a custom rom. That will perform a factory reset. Wiping system means deleting android itself, as stated before. That's what you did wrong.
Now, we can't know why you wanted to start all over again, but assuming you already flashed a custom recovery, you wanted to install a custom rom. Just go ahaed and do so, your problem will be fixed.

thanks, but I can't because this custom recovery doesn't allow me to mount usb and i have no rom on my sd card

That's not actually a problem. I assume you aleady have the android SDK set up, if you don't, please use the search function or google. try the following command while in the platform-tools folder:
adb push path/to/custom/rom /sdcard
or for linux/mac:
sudo ./adb push path/to/custom/rom /sdcard
This will copy the file to the root of your sdcard, so you can flash it. Good luck!
P.S. there's a thanks button, too

That wont work as ADB does not work on any of the custom recoveries at the moment. Im stuck in the same situtation at the mo and as phone is branded cant get the RUU to reflash so just playing the waiting game until either ADB/USB mount available in recovery or S-Off available.

Same problem here! I unfortunatly erase everything from my one x and i can't restore anything!! How can i solve it?? My device is unlocked but stay in s-on mode! Why? From fastboot i can't flash anything! Help!!

Hello folks, problem solved by following leejames instructions :
flash stock recovery
relock bootloader
use ruu
I'm so happy. Thanks.

Mee too!! Thanks a lot!! I'm very very very very very very very very very very very very very very happy!!
1 flash stock recovery
2 relock bootloader
3 use ruu
It works fine!!

I do exactly the same thing , but half way through the RUU process it gives me an error saying i need the correct RUU. anyone can help ?

All you have to do is grab an RUU, run it. now on your pc search for %temp%in there locate ROM.zip. Extract the boot.img and system.img. and push them thru fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
adb reboot

i did that , but i get this error:
C:\ADB>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

unlocked recovery problem

Hello mates,
i really need your help, i guess.
For understanding:
wildfire with 1&1 branding unlocked via htc dev tool..
now i'm unlocked with S-ON...
Bootloader works...but everytime i choose "recovery" the 1&1 logo comes and never disappears...tried to press every f...button but yeah, lovely 1&1 logo.
i tried to flash cwm 5 via fastboot but the problem is still there...
and yeah, there is no rom on the wildfire...and of course, there is no error when flashing via fastboot.
"

sending 'recovery' (3032 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.900s]

does anyone have a solution for this?
thanks.

Of course, but i will try yours.
Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, problem is still there.. Any other ideas?

[Q] Help: Can't relock, can't flash via fastboot

UPDATE: Still no solution found - new Ideas very welcome.
Hi there,
I'm at the end of my wits with my HOX which is with a german o2 branding. After getting stuck in bootscreen after athe OTA-Update from 1.26.207.2 to 1.28.207.9 - which failed for some reasons. I tried to install different Custom-Roms, none of which would boot beyond the first HTC-Screen.
The latest one I tried was Cyanogenmod, that did boot fully but I got constant "andoidupi crashed" messages, so I tried to reflash it.
After that things got weird, because right now I can't really do anything anymore. If I try to relock it via "Fastboot oem lock" it just reboots and it boots straight into CWM 5.8.3.1 but when I get back to bootloader its still "**** UNLOCKED ****"
I can flash boot.imgs via fastboot flash... but even so its says at the command prompt that it was successful flashed, it really isnt. No matter what - at reboot I will boot into CWM.
It is like working on a virtual machine - the HOX gives all the right responses, but noting I try to flash is permanent.
I can't relock, I can't flash new recoverys, can't flash new boot.img and everything I push onto the SDCARD via adb is gone after reboot. If I delete a file that is actually on the SDCARD it will be back after reboot, like it was never really deleted.
I already checked my drivers, switched off Antivir, tried it on a different PC, reinstalled the drivers etc etc.
My HOX is from German o2
I've got HBOOT 0.94.0000 and Radio 1.1204.90.13
If anyone has any suggestions besides "You have to fastboot flash recovery/boot..." and "Don't forget to erase cache after every flash" I'd be very thankfull
Best regards,
Thad

did you try to re-download your fastboot ?
and did you navigate on CMD to the right place where your fastboot folder is stored ?

You need to flash the stock recovery before you relock your bootloader.
Flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader
Install ruu
Hope this helped
EDIT: Just read your post again and you said you've tried flashing recoveries, sorry, its late here

I redownloaded fastboot multiple times, but its all the same, sadly The problem is: It seems to work. I get all the right replies on the command prompt, but after rebooting nothing is flashed.

I retried all the steps there, but still no change.
The problem still is the same. This is what I get in response:

>fastboot flash boot boot.img

So everything should've worked out great. But not so, because in reality he really hasn't flashed anything to the HOX permanently. When I reboot to recovery I still have the OLD CWM without fixes. The boot.img isn't flashed either.
As I said: It's like working on a virtual machine, where nothing really has any effects, it's a if all the fastboot commands only affect the RAM but are not really flashed to Memory.
And I still can't relock, still can't reboot-bootloader from Bootloader.
Any other ideas are welcome...
Greetings,
Thad

Bump.
Nobody any more ideas?

Bump. Still no solution after many month

are you doing
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or
fastboot boot recovery.img
I'm not sure the second one works, but if it did, it would do what you describe. So do the first.

no devices found on list of adb attached

Hi all.
Please help me fix my HTC One X!! I am trying to restore my phone back to its former glory after a failed attempt to upgrade to Jelly Beans. I installed Clockwork Recovery by

I need to put the operating system back on, but I am at a loss for what to do next after hours searching fruitlessly.
Please help if you can!!

Why would you use such an ancient version of clockworkmod? You want 5.8.4.0, then you can mount SD card from recovery. And charge. Both good things

Try to install Android revolution ,then if you want follow going to stock threat :reboot to bootloader and flash rom boot.img , erase cache , boot into recovery bootloader->hboot->recovery or if it dont work try to flash recovery again than do full wipe and flash rom.zip
You can now boot system

@ms0, I installed the Android Revolution, but I didn't understand your instructions properly.
Thanks for the messages so far, I am still very stuck

1) go into recovery
2) mount storage as USB.

When you're in fastboot it won't show in adb - you need android running for that
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Adb only work when booted in system.
Sdcard mount can work in system and recovery.
To install recovery or system you can use fastboot command in bootloader
(Phone connected to USB and in bootloader-fastboot
Tab.)
To enter bootloader just shut down your phone (hold power for 10sec)and hold both vol- and power button.
When you are in bootloader on your computer you can run
Fastboot flash recovery -filename-.img
to flash recovery
Fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash rom kernel (you must also do fastboot erase cache ).
When this is done on your phone you can go to main bootloader screen and from there you can enter recovery and flash rom itself. Now you should be able to boot system and check usb debuging in settings . You should now be able to connect to adb if this don't work make sure you have proper drivers on your computer (HTC sync manager and Android sdk.)

HTC M8S Flashing Custom Recovery Succesful but can not Boot into / Screen stays Black

Hello, i just created an Account.
I have an Problem with my HTC M8S.
I unlocked the Bootloader via HTC Dev-Website. The next step is to flash a custom Recovery. I tried so via Fastboot-Method.
I got the latest version of TWRP-Recovery and flashed it.
The Windows Command showed:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img
sending 'recovery' (20100 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.106s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.583s]
finished. total time: 4.689s
after that, i cleared the cache and rebooted. I flashed it many times but it doesnt seem to be working..
When I press the Recovery option in the Fastboot menu. The HTC Logo appears and then the screen turns black. Also the Fastboot menu doesnt show that the phone is "tampered"
Hope you could understand my Problem and maybe help me.
V.M

twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img is for HTC M8 only, won't work for your HTC M8S.
